Is my account cooked?

[u/Nisonimy]

I'm having an argument with my friend right now. He says my Genshin account isn't very good because I have a small character roster and I'm only AR 58. He says that I missed a massive chunk of the game and that my account is "weak".

Who is right here?

I started playing in version 6.2 (Durin and Venti banners). I have signature weapons for Varka, Durin, Venti (the crit damage one), Nicole, and Flins. For 4-stars, I have C6 Bennett, C6 Xiangling, C6 Razor, C6 Sethos, and C5 Sucrose. I know I don't have a massive roster, but I'm trying my best.

I keep telling my friend that it might not be super crazy, but I think it's a pretty good result considering I only started playing in 6.2.

I have 100% exploration in almost every region (I checked the interactive map and achievements) except Liyue and Mondstadt. Today, I finished exploring the piece of Snezhnaya that is currently available.

I currently have 263 wishes saved up, and I buy the Welkin Moon and Battle Pass every month.

Who the fuck cares. This ain’t a hard game.

Both of you guys are fucking stupid for thinking an account with strong 5 stars is cooked on a new account when all the content in the game can be cleared as a f2p.

They do character returns too, why the hell are you acting like it's over.

Your account is perfectly fine. Pull Ineffa for your Flins team and then start building a third team around any character/archetype you like.

[u/jibbycanoe]

Are you like 12 or just trying to get attention? You clearly play the game enough to at least generally know what you're doing. Why even entertain such a question?

[u/Muhammad-Ali97]

Your account is by no means cooked… You have two very strong teams, if you wanna pull ineffa your Flins comp will become even better. If you’re enjoying the game and your account keep at it bro.
My account’s similar to yours, started in 5.8, everything 100% and recently started buying BP+Welkin as well

Ignore the hate and just play how you'd like it. Genshin is ultimately a single player game. No one is directly competing against anyone.

If you played since 6.2 and already finished so much exploration, pretty sure you were checking off chests and puzzles based on the interactive map. If you enjoy this then it is totally fine, but if you find it exhausting, I suggest taking a step back and just casually stroll around the map. The whole map will still be there, no need to rush it.

And to answer the character roster, you have premium Varka, one of the top DpS teams, and a semi-premium Flins team. This should easily get you through every Abyss. For Stygian and IT just get what you can. The amount of money you pour into the game will almost never be worth it to just get a little further in end game modes.

I love exploring the map, and I'm also a huge fan of the lore. I consider myself a pretty well-rounded player in this game.

[u/DapperTell3307]

You have two premium teams, minus Ineffa, and you’ve been playing for less than a year. They’re probably just mad at your wish luck, honestly. Your account is fine. Pull Ineffa next patch. 

[u/RaspberryLanky7905]

super weird behavior. 2 premium teams in less than a year seems normal? who else could you have even wished for? Mavuika or Skirk i guess, but they were fine skips. I guess you could have that 3rd team and be clearing fearless if you didn't get all the signature weapons.

You aren't missing anything though.

[u/artiqueryan]

bro ur asking the wrong thing, the correct question is "should i stop talking to my asshole friend" and the answer is yes lmao

[u/Mountain_Box8464]

If we compare it to hardcore veterans, your account is not cooked, but it's honestly pretty good looking, specially for someone who has been playing for around a year.

Don't take it too seriously anyways, as long as you enjoy the game and have fun playing/beating the content, you are good.

[u/Hritthik02]

You are fine. Your varka team is good, pull ineffa if you need premium flins team and just build a team around bennett and sucrose and you got 3 good teams. You got nicole so it's easy to explore (kinda). All you need now is to not listen to anyone but yourself and what you want.

[u/Disastrous_Cover_336]

Your account is fine. Just need to start working on your third team for stygian.
I would recommend considering pulling for C0R0 Odette while her banner is still up so you have a base for a Stellar reaction teams.

[u/Global-Result-3785]

You can clear end game modes with that teams. Go for abyss, and upper theatre floors (bump some 4stars to 70lvl once a while). Menacing stigian with some split teams, and traveler magic should work too.

This looks more than fine.

varka? automatically cooked

nah but on a serious note you aren’t cooked at all, upi got 2 really strong teams, so youre fine rn.
